Perhaps I'm biased, but I don't think it's the athiest camp that first raised this. I think that the Christians started asserting that we shouldn't take "under God" out of the pledge because that's how it was originally made (actualy, it was added in the 50s), and that non-Christians were destroying a nation founded on Christianity (which is the opposite of what the Treaty of Tripoli, signed by founding father and president Adams, said).I have to agree with Deut, what does it matter? Just because the founders of our nation were or weren't Christian, don't you think we should be able to make our own decisions and figure out what true freedom is. I'm sure some of the founding fathers had slaves, but no one seems to be arguing that view.
